Morocco is an initiation into exotica of the Islamic, Arabic
and African world with ancient European, especially French
influences. Located on the northernmost extension of the African
continent at the gateway to Europe, Morocco is pulled in many
directions, both in time and space. In spite of contemporary
influences of the encroaching modern world, the old romantic
notions of pashas living in palatial kasbahs and medinas built
out of the earth, steeped in Islamic and feudal history, still
prevail.
For centuries Morocco has always been the land of adventure
for intrepid travelers seeking the enticingly different and
unusual. Discover an astonishingly rich architectural tradition
of Medieval cities, Roman ruins, Berber fortresses and beautiful
Islamic monuments. Experience a rich cultural heritage through
elaborate handicrafts, age-old land cultivation, cargo trading
and markets, and the genuine hospitality of native Berber
people who still dominate the isolated mountain regions. Off
the beaten track you can hike and trek through the Atlas Mountains,
and explore by 4-wheel drive and ride came-back through Saharan
Desert over ancient caravan trading routes.
